Call to Action:

On July 16, 2007 our mother, sister, comrade and revolutionary s/hero turns 60 with a million dollar bounty on her head issued by the US Government. Last November, the “Happy Birthday Assata Campaign” kicked off a national tour featuring a traveling birthday card for Assata signed by thousands of
activists, students, educators, journalists, artists, and freedom fighters nationwide. The tour featured Angela Davis, Mos Def, Sonia Sanchez and included a Detroit city council resolution honoring Assata.

Join the Hands Off Assata Campaign, the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, supporters Angela Davis, Talib Kweli, Susan Taylor, Alice Walker, and many more to continue the fight to turn the illegitimate $one million bounty into one million wishes for Assata Shakur!

Don’t miss this final action celebrating Assata Shakur’s 60th Birthday!
